When setting up your Looking Glass 65" display alongside your secondary monitor (recommended) to use as the UI screen, ensure the following:
The Looking Glass 65" and secondary monitor should be extended, not mirrored.
The Looking Glass 65" should be scaled at 100%
The secondary monitor should be set as your "primary display"
This setup will allow for you to seamlessly control your applications and content from the secondary display with the holographic content running on your Looking Glass 65".
Looking Glass Bridge facilitates communication between your computer and any connected Looking Glass devices and is required for Looking Glass applications and development tools. Download Looking Glass Bridge here.
This simple test can be run to ensure that hardware is connected and that the software is installed and configured:
When the above button is pressed, your Looking Glass 65" should show a 3D image of Shawn from Looking Glass. To close this image, move your mouse over to the Looking Glass and click the ESC key on the keyboard.
If the hologram appears with diagonal lines, there is an error loading the calibration data. Please retry the setup steps above to ensure it is properly configured, double-check that all cables are plugged in and that your monitor settings are correct.
Looking Glass Studio is the hologram companion app for your Looking Glass 65". With it, you can import holograms from a variety of sources and make minor edits to any hologram you create.

If your PC is not switching on when connected to the Looking Glass 65" Display
When you set up and turn on the PC, avoid having all peripherals connected at once. Only have the secondary screen connected.
Then, after set up, you can connect all the other accessories. This is to prevent the PC from drawing too much power at once.
If you notice that your demos seem to be running to the left side of the display and there is something wrong with how they look
Reset the Looking Glass display with the power button on the side.
If you notice that some media in Looking Glass Studio is running at a slower frame rate
First, ensure that you have Vertical Sync enabled:
Click the Start button or Windows icon
Type NVIDIA Control Panel into the search bar
Press Enter on your keyboard
Click Manage 3D settings
Under "I would like to use the following 3D settings", scroll down until you see Vertical Sync
Select Vertical Sync to choose Force on from the dropdown menu
Second, ensure that the graphics card is targeting all the applications that you've installed including the web browser you're using (we recommend Chrome). For a detailed breakdown of how to set this for your PC, follow this guide here.
If USB-C ports on the back of the 65" PC aren't functioning properly.
Install the latest chipset drivers for the Intel compute element. This only applies to the 65" PC purchased from Looking Glass.
